For some time now, I have wanted to write a new post to my blog, (I think I have blogger’s block!) but one thing after another has gotten in the way. I like to be organized and I like to plan my week in advance, so unexpected events don't really have a place on my calendar. For at least three weeks now, I have put on my calendar “write new post for blog”. And for the last three weeks, something would come up to alter my day. Everyday, I believed I had my day mapped out - I was going to be able to write my blog post, and make a sizable dent in my “to do” list, and then boom – something would come up and everything I thought I was going to get done would get thrown out the window. My usual response to unplanned changes in my day is to totally stress out. But last Tuesday, as I was in my car, (running late for an appointment), the song, Beautiful Boy, by John Lennon was playing on my radio. The lyric “life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans” struck a chord with me. I thought about that philosophical lyric for a good part of the day and realized how so very right John Lennon was. Now this may sound very simple, but it’s true – I made up my mind that I was no longer going to stress out when life happens. Though it is three weeks late, I've completed my post, and guess what? I'm not stressing! Now if I could just find a song about blogger's block.....
